Title: Introduction to Polygons


1
Introduction to Polygons
  • Different types of Polygons
  • Simple Convex
  • Simple Concave
  • Non-simple self-intersecting
  • With holes

Convex

Self-intersecting

Introduction to Polygons
  • Convex
  • A region S is convex iff for any x1 and x2
    in S, the straight line segment connecting x1 and
    x2 is also contained in S. The convex hull of an
    object S is the smallest H such that S

Scan Line Polygon Fill Algorithms
  • A standard output primitive in general graphics
    package is a solid color or patterned polygon
    area
  • There are two basic approaches to filling on
    raster systems.
  • Determine overlap Intervals for scan lines that
    cross that area.
  • Start from a given interior point and paint
    outward from this point until we encounter the
    boundary
  • The first approach is mostly used in general
    graphics packages, however second approach is
    used in applications having complex boundaries
    and interactive painting systems

Seed Fill Algorithm
  • These algorithms assume that at least one pixel
    interior to a polygon or region is known
  • Regions maybe interior or boundary defined

Interior-defined region

A Simple Seed Fill Algorithm
  • Push the seed pixel onto the stack
  • While the stack is not empty
  • Pop a pixel from the stack
  • Set the pixel to the required value
  • For each of the 4 connected pixels
  • Adjacent to the current pixel, check if it
    is a boundary pixel or if it has already been set
    to the required value.
  • In either case ignore it. Otherwise push it
    onto the stack
  • The algorithm can be implemented using 8
    connected pixels
  • It also works with holes in the polygons

Scan Line Polygon Fill Algorithm

Interior pixels along a scan line passing through
a polygon area
  • For each scan line crossing a polygon are then
    sorted from left to right, and
    the corresponding frame buffer positions between
    each intersection pair are set to the specified
    color.
  • These intersection points are then sorted from
    left to right , and the corresponding frame
    buffer positions between each intersection pair
    are set to specified color

Scan Line Polygon Fill Algorithm
  • In the given example ( previous slide) , four
    pixel intersections define stretches from x10 to
    x14 and x18 to x24
  • Some scan-Line intersections at polygon vertices
    require special handling
  • A scan Line passing through a vertex intersects
    two polygon edges at that position, adding two
    points to the list of intersections for the scan
    Line
  • In the given example , scan Line y intersects
    five polygon edges and the scan Line y
    intersects 4 edges although it also passes
    through a vertex
  • y correctly identifies internal pixel spans ,but
    need some extra processing

8
Scan line Polygon Fill Algorithm
  • One way to resolve this is also to shorten some
    polygon edges to split those vertices that should
    be counted as one intersection
  • When the end point y coordinates of the two edges
    are increasing , the y value of the upper
    endpoint for the current edge is decreased by 1
  • When the endpoint y values are monotonically
    decreasing, we decrease the y coordinate of the
    upper endpoint of the edge following the current
    edge

(b)
Adjusting endpoint values for a polygon, as we
process edges in order around the polygon
perimeter. The edge currently being processed is
indicated as a solid like. In (a), the y
coordinate of the upper endpoint of the current
edge id decreased by 1. In (b), the y coordinate
of the upper end point of the next edge is
decreased by 1

Scan Line Polygon Fill Algorithm
  • The topological difference between scan Line y
    and scan Line y'

11
  • The topological difference between scan line y
    and scan line y is
  • For Scan line y, the two intersecting edges
    sharing a vertex are on opposite sides of the
    scan line !
  • But for scan line y, the two intersecting
    edges are both above the scan line
  • Thu, the vertices that require additional
    processing are those that have connecting edges
    on opposite sides of scan line.
  • We can identify these vertices by tracing around
    the polygon boundary either in clock-wise or
    anti-clockwise order and observing the relative
    changes in vertex y coordinates as we move from
    one edge to the next.
  • If the endpoint y values of two consecutive
    edges monotonically increase or decrease, we need
    to count the middle vertex as a single
    intersection point for any scan line passing
    through that vertex.

12
  • Otherwise, the shared vertex represents a local
    extremum (min. or max.) on the polygon boundary,
    and the two edge intersections with the scan line
    passing through that vertex can be added to the
    intersection list

Figure 3-36 Intersection points along the scan
lines that intersect polygon vertices. Scan line
y generates an odd number of intersections, but
scan line y generates an even number of
intersections that can be paired to identify
correctly the interior pixel spans.

  • The scan conversion algorithm works as follows
  • Intersect each scanline with all edges
  • Sort intersections in x
  • Calculate parity of intersections to determine
    in/out
  • Fill the in pixels
  • Special cases to be handled
  • Horizontal edges should be excluded
  • For vertices lying on scanlines,
  • count twice for a change in slope.
  • Shorten edge by one scanline for no change in
    slope
  • Coherence between scanlines tells us that
  • Edges that intersect scanline y are likely to
    intersect y 1
  • X changes predictably from scanline y to y 1

14
  • We have 2 data structures Edge Table and Active
    Edge Table
  • Traverse Edges to construct an Edge Table
  • Eliminate horizontal edges
  • Add edge to linked-list for the scan line
    corresponding to the lower vertex.
  • Store the following
  • y_upper last scanline to consider
  • x_lower starting x coordinate for edge
  • 1/m for incrementing x compute
  • Construct Active Edge Table during scan
    conversion. AEL is a linked list of active edges
    on the current scanline, y. Each active edge line
    has the following information
  • y_upper last scanline to consider
  • x_lower edges intersection with current y
  • 1/m x increment
  • The active edges are kept sorted by x

15
  • Algorithm
  • Set y to the smallest y coordinate that has an
    entry in the ET i.e, y for the first nonempty
    bucket.
  • Initialize the AET to be empty.
  • Repeat until the AET and ET are empty
  • 3.1 Move from ET bucket y to the AET those edges
    whose y_min y (entering edges).
  • 3.2 Remove from the AET those entries for which y
    y_max (edges not involved in the next
    scanline), the sort the AET on x (made easier
    because ET is presorted).
  • 3.3 Fill in desired pixel values on scanline y by
    using pairs of x coordinates from AET.
  • 3.4 Increment y by 1 (to the coordinate of the
    next scanline).
  • 3.5 For each nonvertical edge remaining in the
    AET, update x for the new y.
  • Extensions
  • Multiple overlapping polygons priorities
  • Color, patterns Z for visibility
